On Wednesday, Oct. 18, the Antonin Scalia Law School at George Mason University and Radford University announced a new dual-degree program to help Radford University students expedite their law school education. Today’s agreement is the result of a signing ceremony with George Mason University President Angel Cabrera and Radford University President Brian O. Hemphill.

Radford University's IMPACT program was awarded a historic three-year, $13.8 million grant by the U.S. Department of Education’s Supporting Effective Educator Development Grant Program. The grant began on Oct. 1 and runs through Sept. 30, 2020 and is the largest grant in the history of Radford University and boosts Radford’s annual grant funding by more than 50 percent in the first fiscal year.
